Molecular Mechanisms of Insect Olfaction Toward Sesquiterpenoid Stereoisomers

How do insects distinguish between mirror-image molecules, and why can a subtle change in stereochemistry transform a strong attractant into a compound that elicits no response? This PhD project explores the mechanisms that drive insect recognition of sesquiterpenoid stereoisomers, a class of compounds commonly involved in true bug pheromone communication. Read more
